This book has all the drama and the ending has me in a chokehold! Thank goodness Tale of the Heart Queen is already out because I am starting it immediately. As with RofAK, I loved the chapters that took us back into history. I found them fascinating and enlightening, while also still keeping me questioning what the heck actually happened. 
Lor and Nadir’s dynamic was interesting and the slow burn finally paid off! I don’t always love the fated mates trope because I feel it’s used to sweep relationship development under the rug. Lor & Nadir do that a little bit, but it wasn’t extreme or off putting. I still love both Mael and Gabriel and I LOVED Gabriel’s POV. I want him to have good things happen for him. 
I’m excited for the finale and cannot wait to find out what all actually happened in the past.
